Since we had the day off Friday (11.25.2022), my partner and I took a day trip down to Coronado, and later in the evening went to San Diego's North Park neighborhood.
So, some random pics...

...to the Hotel del Coronado, Coronado's most distinctive landmark. A huge Victorian-era hotel, it opened in January 1888. It's still a seaside resort hotel. It's quite nice. Of course it's reputed to be haunted. Presidents have stayed here over the past hundred-something years or so, and the 1958 Marilyn Monroe film "Some Like it Hot" was filmed here, though the movie was set in Florida.

We heard a lot of Midwestern accents; must be a really popular place to stay during this time of year for people from that part of the US. We heard some Dutch tourists too. We didn't really hear other languages being spoken.

On the San Diego Bay side of Coronado, you get a good view of the downtown San Diego skyline. Years ago, my partner and I went here for the 4th of July and watched the fireworks here over San Diego Bay and the skyline.

What is it with restaurants in tourist areas that always have to have burgers for those people who only wanna eat burgers? And that cocktail looks like antifreeze.

North Park, San Diego
North Park is kind of a fun little funky neighborhood.
